Tips from TAs:
  1. PAUSES for EFFECT should be well placed.  Not just at random spots!
  2. Restate Must Knows must be SPECIFIC, not categorical.
  3. The Conclusion should be powerful and separate from the Restate Must Knows.
  4. End with "Thank You"
  5. Repeat Questions at the end.
  6. Any video you use should be less than 30 seconds (be sure to turn up the volume and make full-screen ahead of time).
  7. Get to lab early and pre-load your Slides and any video.
  8. Your Reason for choosing the topic should be separate from your Credibility.
  9. Source all images on the image - If your own - Image Source: Your Name
